Bootloop after Marshmallow Update

As far as I have seen, the updater did not tell me this.

Now I have the boot loop.

Again, this is a major disappointment and another mess-up in Fairphone communication.

Thanks to you @paulakreuzer, though, I unrooted the phone first.. This prevented me from sweating a lot, I guess.

Now, I know what caused the bootloop : I disabled some google apps (google play games, google play music, youtube). Since when disabling apps caused a system to bootloop ? They are not even system apps !

Now, let’s move on.

If you want to backup your data, please read below !

Go to : https://forum.fairphone.com/t/howto-use-twrp-without-flashing-it-e-g-for-backup/. @retsifp has done another good thing for the community by publishing the TWRP tutorial.

Once your phone has rebooted into fastboot, there are some things to know :

  • When using fastboot, your phone is reachable using adb. You can copy the pictures to the sdcard : cp -R /sdcard/DCIM/* /external_sd/. Please note the ‘*’, which will NOT copy the .thumbnails directory of the /sdcard/DCIM directory. You will spare a few worthless gigabytes.
  • TWRP has a “backup” feature. I don’t know what it’s worth, but since I’ll be doing the long leap to FPOS, I guess this will help. Anyways it’s better than nothing …

I’ll update this post later if I manage to do something. Fingers crossed !

I do not, sorry …

EDIT : I didn’t disable google play, merely google play music & games
EDIT2 : After my first try, it didn’t work, I had to wipe the phone using TWRP in FPOS.
